प्रश्न
The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 21. Find the numbers.
उत्तर
Let the first odd number be x.
Then, the next consecutive odd numbers will be (x + 2) and (x + 4).
According to the question:
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 21
or, 3x + 6 = 21
or, 3x + 6 − 6 = 21 − 6 [Subtracting 6 from both the sides]
or, 3x = 15
or, `(3x)/3=15/3` [Dividing both the sides by 3]
or, x = 5
∴ Required numbers are:
x = 5
x + 2 =5 + 2 = 7
x + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9
